Connect the Dots

From Consumer Reports:

"...people using too much laundry detergent [is becoming a problem], an issue perhaps caused by user mistakes or poor design of caps on some containers and bottles - or maybe a combination of the two."

The report goes on to explain that, because the lines on the caps are hard to read, people tend to use more laundry detergent than is necessary.

What I'm wondering is, if the people at Consumer Reports are so smart, how did they not make the connection that maybe manufacturers intend to make the caps too big in order to trick consumers into using more than they need - and therefore having to buy more detergent.

Am I way off base here? What do you think?

    We now make our own. Saves a *ton* of money. Seriously. It would blow your mind.
